Here are some pictures from our trip to Canaveral National Seashore today, which is actually part of the nature preserve portion of Kennedy Space Center. Although you can barely see it in the background of the family picture, Space Shuttle Atlantis has been rolled out to the launch pad (that's it, just to the left of Brielle's head). We had hoped to get closer, but the presence of an armed guard on a watchtower indicated to us this was close enough. Pretty cool, since this is the last launch of the shuttle program.
Lot's of Jellyfish in the water today, so we had to be careful. They're very small (see in Brielle's bucket below), but still sting - Logan was stung on the ankle but was no worse for the wear.
During our relaxing day, this NASA helicopter flew overhead. Can't really see in the pictures, but they had men manning huge machine guns hanging out each open side door. Heaven forbid someone should try to steal the shuttle...
Fun on the boogey boards in these next few pictures.
Walking along the beach looking for shells and jellyfish. The kids are so compassionate - took forever on this walk because they stopped for every stranded jellyfish (many wash ashore, most dead) and tried to scrape them back into the water with shells and sticks so the jellyfish would have a fighting chance back in the water...Pretty fun day.
